Clarice

7 years old.

Calmness in person.

Picking leaves.

Tying her own shoelaces.

Collecting small precious treasures.

Stones. Leaves. Chestnuts. Branches. Feathers.

Patiently wiating for her brother.

Watching him.

Overthinking his story

and making it her own.

Not climbing in trees whilst wearing dresses.

Still enjoying to be a princess in the woods.

Maxime

A walk in the woods.
Faded sun.

Grey and misty.

8 years.

A great age.

He's strong.

Tells stories and lives them up.

Especially whilst building and defending his fortress.

Even killing dragons, while doing so.

He sees creatures in every branch or stump.

Telling his sister to step back, so she would not get hurt.

Protecting his princess.

Holding hands whenever needed.

Never minding me taking close-ups.

Our corridor

2015 started with some work around the house.

Our hallway's gotten a new look.

I dreamed of this for quite a while now,

after we had gone for the colours: 'linen & suède',

we now chose 'basalt & eggwhite', in a faux paneling effect.
Situated at the Northside, our corridor now has a light of it's own,
due to these new colours.

Pure & simple.

It fits us well.

Wintertime

Everyday, there's something new to discover in nature, even in familiar places.

And even in wintertime.

Fascination.

Kids know how to use it and even be it.

We still try to get fascinated in the same way.

It always leads to new horizons.

Provence - Côte d'Azur - Var [ Port Grimaud ]

 

 

 

Just us & some perfect reflections on the waterstreets of Port Grimaud.
In full colour.
Not a soul around.
Time & quietude for reflecting.

Hush now.
Let's just think of nothing at all.

Tranquillité.
 

Little houses

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For a dear driend, who loves houses,

and has recently moved

we collected some nice items

&

my little girl and I made one in fabric aswell ;-)

 

 

We both love how the sun likes to play with the golden house.

We could study it for hours.

Kussens & warm geel in de winterzon

Warmgeel werkt altijd opvrolijkend.

Ook, zeker, in de winterzon.

We zorgden voor een leesplekje achter glas, 

lekker warm nestelend in die winterzon.

 

 

 

Ik maakte snel wat nieuwe kussentjes, gewoon met overflappen.

Netjes (al werkte de zon ook verblindend  en moesten er zelfs nog  enkele speldjes uit èn zag ik het pas als de foto's al genomen waren), makkelijk wasbaar en supersnel klaar.

Ik koos

Confetti dots & Herringbone in beige met fijn goud motief van Camelot

&

Commute by Taxi, een warmgeel stofje met bergmotiefje in wit van Art Gallery,

en vond alles wat ik nodig had weer bij Bellelien.
De stofjes die liggen te wachten komen dan weer van bij Atelier Brunette.

Het warmgeel sluit perfect aan bij het warmgeel van het gebreide katoenen dekentje van Rose in April, 

gevonden bij Léo le Pirate.

Terwijl de gamins druk strips aan het uitzoeken waren, maaakte ik snel enkele, euh veel, foto's.

Stilte voor de storm.

Rust na de storm.

Stofjes die klaarliggen om jurkjes uit te dromen.

Wat breien terwijl ze gretig de boeken en strips verslinden

èn daar echt van genieten.

Ik hou van de rust die we samen kunnen opsouperen.
